Screening and Talk: Agnė Jokšė, Anastasia Sosunova

8 Feb 2023 6.30-8pm

Cell Project Space
London E2 9DA

Overview

A screening of films by artists Agnė Jokšė and Anastasia Sosunova in conversation with curator and writer Yates Norton. Taking place in the context of the artists' first two-person exhibition Dance As You Wrestle in the UK, it will feature Unconditional Love (Agnė Jokšė, 2021) and Demikhov Dog (Anastasia Sosunova, 2017). The exhibition will run extended hours to contextualise and accompany the screening. 

Expanding on the themes explored in the artists' first two-person exhibition Dance As You Wrestle, which are deeply embedded in the artists' moving image practices, the selected films grapple with ‘apocalypses' of the present day and reflects on the difficulties of care and love between pre-independence and post-independence generations.
